Stanley-Morgan Industries adopted a defined benefit pension plan on April 12, 2016. The provisions of the plan were not made retroactive to prior years.

Required: Calculate each of the following amounts as of both December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017: 1. Projected benefit obligation 2. Plan assets 3. Pension expense 4. Net pension asset or net pension liability
